[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] Well, if we were to see an Intrepid next to Galaxies, Constitutions, Nebulas, Mirandas, and other ships of known size, there would be variation likewise because some people don't care about ship scales, only about the "cool" effect. But, since we haven't seen the Intrepid close to any ships of known size, we've seen no variations that could disturb Sternbach's design size. That's one way in which such discussions are biased. The other bias comes from an assumption that major, well designed ships are shown at their true scale, and that ships-of-the-week are not. However, we have plenty of evidence that the VFX crews really think of say, the BoP as being 360' long. In fact, that's why the Defiant ended up at 560'. Rick Sternbach also mentioned that he'd argued for the Enterprise to appear bigger in TNG than it did, so how do we know that the VFX crew didn't want *that* to be a smaller ship, not the BoPs? After all, they did add all the surface detailing to the four-foot model. [/QB][/QUOTE]
